Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles II – The Arcade Game is an action-packed 8-bit beat ’em up released for the NES by Konami. Brought to home consoles as a faithful adaptation of the wildly popular arcade original, this European version lets you take control of Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, or Donatello to battle through Foot Clan soldiers, Mousers, and classic villains. The NES port famously includes two entirely original stagesโa snowy Central Park and a Dojo levelโeach complete with their own unique bosses not found in the arcade cabinet.
How to Play
Your objective is to fight your way through Shredder’s forces to rescue April O’Neil and Master Splinter. You can play solo or team up in two-player co-op.
- Move: Arrow Keys (D-pad)
- Jump: Z (A button)
- Attack: X (B button)
- Special Attack: Press Z and X together (A+B) to perform a powerful jump kick.
- Start / Pause: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips
- Use the jump kick: The A+B special attack is your most reliable move for crowd control and taking down tough bosses without getting grabbed.
- Watch your surroundings: Keep an eye out for interactive items like parking meters and explosive barrels which can be attacked to damage nearby enemies.
- Pizza restores health: Don’t collect pizza slices immediately if you are at full health; save them for when your life bar is actually running low during the stage.
